Your Invitation Has Arrived: Xbox One Ready for Millions of Fans on Nov. 22

Get ready racing aficionados, zombie slayers, sports fans, warriors and entertainment lovers. The Xbox team is planning one of the biggest entertainment premieres of the year to celebrate the launch of Xbox One with Xbox fans around the world, when it launches next Friday, Nov. 22.

people on ps4 going to be upset dont try to compare psn to xbox live for online gaming it is crap.and thats a fact i have played on ps4 and xbox one. ps4 did look more detailed but no good if lag alot been to 4 events. and xbox one has played better at every one so that tells me what i need to no even battlefield was poor on ps4 same as cod. i do hope they sort ther online out as getting both but due to high demand of ps4 orders dont think they will cope time will tell.

There is nothing to sort out on PSN, it works flawlessly for me. There is not near as many host migrating or host ending games as there is on xbox live. Only thing they need to fix is occasional downtime which hasn't happened in quite a while.

But your comment shows me you haven't really played on PS3 much less a PS4. If you provide some proof of like your pass to events. Just take a picture with your N4G name on paper next to your passes. Then i will give you some credit, until then you're just another troll with bad language and grammar.

I cant wait to get my day one xbox one and ill be hammering Forza 5 and KI all day. I am more excited about the Xbox one over the PS4 just because it offers me more services of what I use day to day and has more games at launch I want. But I will be picking up a PS4 later on next year as there are some I want later on next year and then I will have all 3 as I own a WiiU already so im more than pumped for the next generation of home consoles.

I am getting a PS4 later next year, probably next xmas, but truth be told there are no exclusives that Sony release that have anywhere near the buzz of what Microsoft deliver. Forza,Halo,Gears of war,Titanfall,Quantum break,Killer Instinct,Sunset overdrive etc...

@theBrit he didn't say xbox1 he said Microsoft, if it comes out for ps4 what does it matter? Just means more people will enjoy it. He said he's getting both consoles (like me). But I do agree with him for me the ps4 exclusives right now aren't doing anything for me I always preferred god of war, last of us (uncharted was alright, but not great) all my opinions of course

"fixed hardware specs?" WTF??! they promised 10 years of gaming with th 360 and look how they gave up on that half way through the only content it was getting was half arsed sequels of halo,forza or gears and kinect shovelware. at one point the most exciting thing on the 360 was the pizza hut app that's how sad it has gotten so don't hold your breath on a 10 year life cycle it can barely manage launch games.

The 360 was fixed in hardware in 2005, much like the ps4 is set in stone in 2013.

It ain't rocket science.

MS seems to have sacrificed some short term power for longer term investment in power. In 5 years time, the cloud will be more relevant. MS has invested heavily in cloud infrastructure at the same time that Sony is promising what "may" happen with gakai. Sony has even acknowledged that further investment is necessary for its equivalent service to function anywhere near on par. http://www.dualshockers.com...

I just hope gakai can keep up. Because the hardware in both ps4 and xbo will be woefully out of date by then and streaming over the internet will take on a new meaning long after we have finished arguing over whether Ps4 Cod runs at 1080p with poor framerates.

At that time, the cloud may become RATHER relevant, even if if it is unfathomable for you at the present time.

So you believe that in time XBL compute will be able to offload enough data in *real-time* to offer more resources for other things to be done be done locally so for example a game might go from medium graphical settings to high or even able to render at a higher res. Is this what you believe will actually happen or am I missing something here???

Oh my if that's what you truly believe will happen then.....

Anyways XB1 launch should be fun looking forward to seeing more of the OS & interaction with kinect to see how good the voice-controls really are & if I will like them more.

@ kayant "So you believe that in time XBL compute will be able to offload enough data in *real-time* to offer more resources for other things to be done be done locally so for example a game might go from medium graphical settings to high or even able to render at a higher res.

Yes. exactly. That's what I believe will happen, in five to ten years.

If you don't believe this will happen, then... hmm... I can tell you are new to technical change. That's ok. Just remember that change will happen, even if you are not aware of it. It has done so many times before you were even aware of this concept.

@BBBirdistheWord: The internet exploded and Xbox's prebooks tanked when it was revealed that the Xbox One required an internet connection once every 24 hours. What makes you think that people will be willing to have their systems connected constantly in order to offload calculations to the cloud in order to play even single player games? Simply put, the infrastructure in North America makes that concept a pipe dream. Stop grasping at straws.

lol, way back when, middle of last year or so when 720 was what everyone was calling it on the internet, the name's speculation articles would pop up. I mentioned in one that I couldn't see them calling it the 720, as it would imply that the resolution would be at that. I insisted that next gen consoles would be full HD. I thought somewhat more powerful video cards would go into the systems at the time.

I remember getting a lot of agrees that the systems would be full HD. Apparently that doesn't matter now though.

I would pickup an xbox1 at launch if it didnt come with the camera & was $399 but the pay wall just makes it too much for me. I'll wait until they release an sku without the camera. I dont really care for it. Titanfall & Ryse look pretty sweet. Hope they announce more new IP's. The more the better but for $499 i'll wait until next year to grab 1 if they get a cheaper sku.

sony has done way more effective advertising in that they generate so much hype using methods that cost very little like a youtube teaser vid here and there the emails they send out to everyone, twitter etc.. also arguably the biggest amount of hype this gen cost nothing at all just capitalising on their competitor's mistakes at E3. displaying supercars and decorating big warehouses does nothing to reach audience world wide it just gives a good impression to the people attending

This is about the xbox1, not sony. Tired of seeing ppl keep trying to justify why one is better then the other. Just be happy & grab whatever console has the games u enjoy more or grab both & be even happier.

Hey man, what's wrong with kids games? at least Sony keeps pushing them and proves that PS consoles offer a higher variety. i'm 30 years old and i'm getting Knack day one. Maybe in your eyes i'm a kid but i still enjoy some platforming games. and Ryse and Dead Rising are amazing maybe? how about the unfinished Forza 5? has least number of tracks and cars of all forza games, no day/night transitions and no dynamic weather effects.

please shut up or at least know what you are talking about.

let me ask you now because you are opening it big, what does x1 bring other than old gen resolution?

and Ryse and Dead Rising are amazing maybe? how about the unfinished Forza 5? has least number of tracks and cars of all forza games, no day/night transitions and no dynamic weather effects.

All I see is People spinning out the same stuff the anti-xbox news that Fora 5 was rushed and lacks weather or tracks and cars when it never had weather in their games before and has about the same amount of tracks and cars when they other Forza games came out. stop the hate enjoy your Knack am sure it will be fun to play and it would be better if you just bought both systems and enjoy the gaming.....

What's new with the PS4? Nothing, it's a game machine that plays games, and is backed by a company who has proven that they have the gamer's interest in mind. Processing power to handle more complex game play, and a better GPU to push out more pixels is all I ask from my consoles.

Great comment. I don't see why people have to start a school year argument over a peace of technology at the end of the day its not about what's in the box its about the games and if one console has not got the games you want then you will never buy it. Plus the Xbox one, WiiU and PS4 are great consoles in there own right and so far they all have games that people want and should go and buy as no matter which consoles you own if it makes you feel good gaming then you are the winner.

At this point I'm thinking of canceling my One preorder and just getting the PS4. I have both preordered but there aren't any good launch games for One. I read on Eurogamer that DR3 can dip down to 12fps in some places and that's unacceptable.

Thats great but u make it sound like your going to buy the system just for the UI. Sorry man but im all about the games. I never bought a system just for its features, its the games that i care about & thats why i could careless about kinect or pseye. Just give me some kickass games & im good.

Can't wait for the 22nd...we will see a new Halo trailer, a new Halo TV series trailer, a new Halo phone app, a new windows 8 Halo startup menu, a new pizza Hut Halo app, a new Halo themed forza track, a new Halo marshmallow snack, a new Halo dorito cross promotion condoms, à New Halo titan fall brand of soap & conditioner and a trailer for Halo 6...

I don't understand people these days. Enjoy your system, whichever you choose to buy. If you can't buy a system because you are $100 short, don't be mad at the ones of us who can. I didn't pick the X1 just for graphics(which will continue to get better), but an all-in-one entertainment system. No one goes out and buys a phone nowadays just to make phone calls. I don't know about you, but I like my phone to make phone calls and do everything else. Just saying..
